Liam Payne's Step Sister

31: Jenna's House

Ellie's P.O.V

I survived the severely awkward car ride on Niall's lap and am now inside, helping him and Liam unpack their stuff so they can use it tomorrow.

"Thanks again for letting us stay, Jenna." Liam says, offering her a smile she couldn't help but return.

"No problem. Any friends of Ellie's are friends of mine too." She grins.

I walk to our room, Niall's, Liam's and I's, and flop onto the bed.

"I'm so sore." I complain to nobody.

Suddenly, there's a weight on my bed and I feel someone massaging my back.

"Oh my god." I moan, earning an Irish chuckle.

"You're the best, Niall." I grin.

"How'd you know it was me?!" He laughs.

"You're the only Irish person in this house." I mumble against my pillow.

I feel the rubbing on my back stop and Niall standing up. "My turn!" He happily shouts.

"I knew there was a trick!" I giggle.

"Go the fuck to bed already!" Dan groggily shouts from the next room over. "Someone's moody." I giggle.

"He's right you know." Liam has the same amount of tiredness in his voice as Dan.

"Let's watch a movie." Niall suggests.

"I'm in if you are." I grin.

~*~

"Seriously Niall!? A horror film? You know how I get when I watch those." I groan.

"Whatever. You can hold onto me if you get scared." He smiles, obviously proud of my annoyance.

"Oh how sweet." I sarcastically mumble.

I watched the movie next to him and was squeezing his arm as tight as I could.

Niall's P.O.V

Ellie fell asleep halfway through the film and I turned it off once I made sure she really was asleep.

I carry her upstairs and place her on my bed. She looks so calm when she's sleeping... I almost feel like I could stare at her forever if she let me. But she's so insecure that she hates when people stare at her...

I can't believe how different she seems in my eyes now that I know her secret.

I laid down next to her as she instantly curled up with her back facing me.

I end up draping my arm over her body and spooning her.

This is the best I've felt in ages.

Ellie's P.O.V

I woke up with Niall's arm over me.

I smile as I recall the night before and how close the two of us are and how much I love them both.

I don't want them to go back. I want them to stay.

                              ~*~

"Don't go!" I yell as I shoot up from my covers. "Glad we're on the same page." Niall groggily chuckles.

I glance over to Liam's bed and see that it's neatly made and empty.

"Where is he?" I nod towards the bed. "Downstairs. I know he'll want to talk to you about your... Situation. Are you ready for that?" Niall reminds me.

"Yeah. I am... Liam!" I shout his name just barely after whispering the first three words.

"What's up?" He casually strolls into our room. "I wanna talk." I say, patting the spot on Niall's bed next to me. He sits down and puts his hands in his lap.

"I know you're probably mad at me because I've had this secret career thing going on and I never even felt the need to tell you or the 4 other crazy people who live with us. But, I'm sorry I didn't. I knew you wouldn't approve of it and... I just couldn't give it up." I explain to Liam.

The two boys nod their heads, taking in the information.

"Ellie, I actually love what you do. I didn't at first because I thought you just wanted to feel how the boys and I feel when we're on stage, preforming. I thought you were just jealous of our lives and wanted just as much as attention as us. But then I saw how your fans reacted when they saw and heard you and I instantly knew, you love doing this." Liam says.

"Now can I please go back to sleep?" I pout, turning to Niall. "I didn't even wake you up!" He protests.

~*~

"I need someone to do a collab with!" I shout once I change out of my pjs and into a fresh set of clothes.

Niall comes racing up the stairs and bashes through the door. "Can I?" He innocently asks. "If you can keep the door on the wall, yes. Yes you can." I smirk.

"Good thing I did." He smiles and sits on my bed. "Let me go get my camera and set it up." I excitedly yell, bouncing out of the room.

Niall's P.O.V

"Hello! And welcome to my video where I'll teach you how to look like me, act like me and talk like me." I pretend that I'm Ellie once she sets up the camera, turns it on and walks out of the room to go get us some "supplies". Her words, not mine.
